Soakin' the UNIVERSE!

Check out these blaster props from Stargate SG-1 100th episode entitled "Wormhole X-treme"!

The lower blaster is fairly easily identified, but the upper rifle-type blaster is made of parts from a number of models.

I got emailed from the current owner of these props, andy19422, asking for help identifying where parts may have come from. Thankfully, was able to help him out. So the fun challenge to this group; can YOU identify the blasters used in these props? All of the blasters in question are in the iSoaker.com database for the base of these props. Additional embellishments (like some of the additional tubing on the lower blaster) may have come from a variety of sources.

:cool:

This is like the kind of stuff the NIC does that we don't really see here lol.

Top prop is obviously predominantly CPS 4100, with various parts tacked on. The reservoir cap looks like something from a cheap BBT or off-brand blaster. The tubes from the 1-3-5 could easily have been from anywhere such as home improvement stores.

The top blaster looks like a CPS 2000 with a CPS 2100 nozzle, a CPS 4100 pump handle, and a million other tiny details.

The pump is screaming buzz bee to me… almost splat blaster 2. Also thought maybe blastmaster at first. The nozle looks like a WW gun. Actually, it looks like a pig…
The handle is like a 2100, but the ridges are weird.

4100 owners will recognize that the majority of the gun is from a 4100. The pump, track, trigger area, grip, and most of the handle and front decorator. I have no idea where the rest is from, though.

The Tubing on the front looks like 2100.

The lower blaster is fairly obvious being a mostly stock CPS 1-3-5 repainted with some additional tubing.

However, the upper blaster is a little trickier.

The upper one appears to be made up primarily of three items: one for the front area (from the nozzle to just in front of the pump), one for the middle region (pump, handle, and grip), and one for the back side. The middle has been correctly identified (technically the middle may be one of two models, but I'm digressing), but so far no one here has identified the front or rear portions.

Any other guesses?

Is the back a 1200?

And the front looks like a WW that I'm to lazy to search for the name.

And the bottom is a monster. (:goofy: I win)

I don't really know to much about this stuff so I'm not even going to try, but I can help out on the screw cap on the top blaster. Honestly I think that is just a metal lid from a pickle jar painted black. I have a lid that looks just like that at home (not black) and that is where it came from.
